World of Warcraft Client Patch 2.0.1

Looking for Group Interface Tool

A new Looking For Group tool designed to assist players in finding groups for instanced dungeons and quests will now be available. This interface gives players the option to be added to a pool of other players also looking for a group, as a means to expedite the process. In addition, players will also be able to search for additional members in situations where they have a group and are simply looking to find more players. For a complete overview of this new interface, please take a moment and read the information contained on our comprehensive Looking for Group preview.

General

All players will have their talent points reimbursed and will have access to new talents throughout their trees; this includes the 41-point talents. Several new abilities have also been added for all classes.

All pets will now receive a percentage of their master's armor, spell damage, spell resistances, attack power, and stamina.

Warlocks

Warriors

Rage generation from dealing damage has been normalized.

All Rage awards are averaged with our expected rage per swing (adjusted for weapon speed).

Items

The "Far Sight" effect has changed so that the camera now zooms in to a distant location, rather than instantly showing the distant view. This also affects the items: Ultra-Spectropic Vision Goggles, the Ornate Spyglass, and the Hunter ability "Eagle Eye."

Spells can now require either a totem item or a totem category item to cast a spell. This means that the Enchanting Rods now count as all of the lower level enchanting rods as well, so you only need a single enchanting rod instead of all six. This also means that "Finkle's Skinner" now counts as a Skinning Knife. Several weapons that are picks have been flagged as counting as a Mining pick as well.

Items that give bonuses, such as critical strike percentage, have been modified to adhere to a combat rating system.

All current items will provide the exact same benefit from ratings at level 60 as they provided before the ratings system.

Thrown weapon items no longer stack, but use durability instead. One unit of durability is lost per throw, and these items can be repaired.

The tool tip for the Great Staff of the Guardian now shows the proper increase of 28 to the party spell critical rating.

Items that are usable from player inventory with a cooldown will now update the cooldown in real-time.

Players will no longer be able to sell the "Blue Skeletal Horse" to vendors.

The damage Proc from the item "Misplaced Servo Arm" will no longer break the Rogue ability "Gouge".

The "Skull of Impending Doom" has been changed and will now increase run speed by 60% for 10 seconds, but deals damage equal to 60% of your maximum health and drains 60% of your maximum mana for over 10 seconds.

The Backfire effect on the "Net-O-Matic" will no longer break on damage.

Professions

All of the profession-made items that have been created up to now have been given proper stats based on the current expansion item level progression table.

Most of the items made by Tailoring/Leatherworking/Blacksmithing have had their creation time reduced. Now the cap on time required to make an item in those professions is based on quality and level.

New Max times required.

Level 31+ Green Items at least 8 sec

Level 31+ Blue Items at least 15 sec

Level 31+ Purple Items at least 25 sec

Skill level now determines what items you can disenchant.

Skill 1= Level 1-20

Skill 25= Level 20-25

Skill 50= Level 25-30

Skill 75= Level 30-35

Skill 100= Level 35-40

Skill 125= Level 40-45

Skill 150= Level 45-50

Skill 175= Level 50-55

Skill 200= Level 55-60

Skill 225= Level 60-65

Players will no longer lose an item when attempting to disenchant on a boat when the loading screen appears.

User Interface

Meeting Stone gossip options have been removed from Innkeepers in preparation for the new LFG system.

Sound Preferences Window

Enable Sound in Background has been added as an option.

A Sound Channels slider has been added with Low to High setting options. A default setting of "Low" has been set for PC s and a setting of "High" has been set for Macs.

Known Issues

Edit - I'd like to make it clear that these are not ALL the known issues for 2.0.1. These are some of the most commonly reported issues for patch 2.0.1 to this point in an effort to reduce the duplicate reports on this forum. -Averinn
